TRUCK ACCIDENT LAW
A person who negligently operates a vehicle is required by law
to pay for any and all damages caused. All operators of vehicles
must drive with "reasonable care under the circumstances".
If such care is not used, and an accident occurs, they are responsible
for all damages.
If you have been injured through the carelessness, negligence or
irresponsible behavior of another individual or organization, you
probably have a valid personal injury claim. Since most of the time
you will suffer some form of loss (be it income, physical, emotional,
or other) you have a claim arising from injuries sustained as a
result of the use or operation of motor vehicles, including claims
against the at-fault motorist & uninsured motorist claims.

What should you do if you are in an accident?
You should obtain as much correct and complete information as possible
at the accident scene (it will be much more difficult to get vital
information later). We have compiled a list of items you should
obtain at the accident scene:
- Driver's name, address, date of birth, telephone number, driver's
license number, driver's license expiration date, and insurance
company name and phone number.
- Vehicle's make, year, model, license plate number, reg. expiration
date, and vehicle identification number.
- Names, addresses, telephone numbers and insurance companies of
the other vehicle's legal and registered owners (if the driver is
not the owner).
- Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any passengers in
the other vehicle.
- Names, addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses to the accident.
Ask them to stay to talk to the CHP or police. If they cannot stay,
ask them to explain to you what they saw and if possible write everything
down.
- Identify people at the accident scene, even if they will not
give you their contact info. If someone saw the accident and leaves
the scene, you should make a note of his or her vehicle's license
plate number. Law officials can trace the owner's name and address.
- Names and badge numbers of any law officer who came to the accident
scene. Ask the officer where and when you can get a copy of the
accident report. Make a simple diagram of the accident. Make a diagram
of the accident scene on paper, make notes of traffic conditions,
weather, time of day, and any objects such as traffic lights and
signs that might be in the area. Also if you have a camera, take
pictures of the scene.
